This is a full 60 hour course to be delivered in 54 hours. It will be delivered over 12 weeks with 3x 1.5 hour sessions per week classroom delivery (K204). Guest speakers are invited to deliver real world knowledge and experience from a business perspective. This unit is about lifting the lid on technology systems, giving learners the opportunity to explore whats inside and understand how it all works. Learners should enjoy the practical aspects of the unit. The BTEC Level 1/ Level 2 First Extended Certificate in Information and governments Study Programmes for 1619 year olds. The Department for Education, as part of its Study Programmes for 1619 year olds requires learners aged 16+ to be offered a high quality study programme giving them the best opportunity to progress to higher education or to secure skilled employment, this will be delivered. As part of this requirement learners should be able to study a qualification of substantial size which provides them with the opportunity to progress to the next stage of learning. The BTEC Level 1/2 First Extended Certificate and Diploma in I&CT have been designed to meet this requirement and provide learners who wish to progress their learning and development in I&CT with the opportunity to study topics and aspects of the I&CT sector appropriate for post-16 learners. We would expect learners to be able to progress to either a Level 3 Extended Diploma in IT, Level 3 in Game Development or an Apprenticeship in IT. The qualification meets the requirements of the Study Programmes for 1619 year olds by: 1. Providing learning appropriate for learners aged 16+ who have chosen to focus their learning in the sector. 2. Providing learners with an opportunity to extend learning from pre-16 to post-16. 3. Encouraging learners to explore relevant specialisation in their learning, through new optional units designed specifically for learners aged 16+ 4. Supporting learners who may also be working towards achieving level 2 English and/or mathematics qualifications in a post-16 setting and wish to complement their study programme with a qualification that supports preparation for work or progression. 5. Supporting work experience requirements through a specific optional unit, Unit 25: IT Work Experience

Learning aims A: Understand the uses and features of websites this will be linked to the real world B: Design a website will familiarise learners with how a client brief can be used to specify the intended purpose and user requirements of a website C: Develop and test a website will enthuse learners as they learn the skills to produce their own websites and to view them in a browser D: Review the finished website should instil valuable reviewing skills into learners as they compare their finished website against the original requirements
E&D
There will be opportunities to address E&D issues throughout the delivery and this is include issues such as when partially sighted users access the website, appropriate colour usage to support and lead users and to attract attention.
Sustainability Areas which will be addressed in this topic include items such as Design optimisation, design for mobile devices which use less power than
desktops etc, performance issues when creating a website e.g. larger images will require more download time/ faster connection, optimising images, using vector graphics rather than bitmap, Designing and configuring a site to be easily indexed by search engines etc.
Functional Skills
Throughout the delivery Functional English and ICT will be implicitly delivered throughout, there are a number of opportunities to embed aspects of Function Maths
